Refresh your wardrobe from what you have.
In the context of the increasingly concerned trend of sustainable consumption, "renovating" the wardrobe instead of constantly shopping is becoming a choice that many people are applying. According to fashion expert Susmita Sharma, personal style consultant at a fashion platform in India, the problem is not in the amount of clothes but in how the wearer exploits them.
Ms. Susmita Sharma shared: "Most people think they lack clothes, but in fact they are just repeating old outfits without trying a new look.
5 simple ways to refresh your wardrobe
Change your familiar way of coordinating clothes: Old clothes can become new when combined with other outfits such as jeans, belts or striking accessories.
Combine items you've never worn together: Break the "fixed formula" to create a new style from existing clothes.
Apply layering technique: Wear a shirt, thin jacket or scarf to increase the depth of the outfit.
Use accessories as accents: Handbags, shoes, necklaces or belts can completely change the overall outfit.
Adjust and take care of clothes: Sew back, flatten, remove fabric fibers to make clothes look newer and neater.
The mindset of dressing is more important than the amount of clothes
According to expert Susmita Sharma, the biggest difference lies in thinking: "When you start to be creative with what you have, the feeling of'nothing to wear' will disappear without having to buy any more items.
In fact, many outfits that seem old can become new with just a small change in the way they are coordinated or the way they use accessories. This not only helps save costs but also contributes to reducing waste in fashion.
Refreshing a wardrobe is therefore not about shopping more, but about looking back and using what is already available more wisely.
